Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint

This product isn't recommended for use in a wet room or on tiles.

Assuming the tiles are glazed, bare, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we would recommend Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment, followed by 2 coats of Smartkote Safekote.

This provides a bare foot friendly anti-slip coating, this is available in a range of colours with a semi-gloss finish.

Then applying 1- 2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint.

Yes this is suitable for use on a steel hatch assuming the bare steel hatch is only subject to light foot traffic, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet.

The bare steel hatch should be primed first with Blackfriar Red Oxide Metal Primer prior to application.

Yes this is suitable for use on a steel hatch assuming the steel hatch is only subject to light foot traffic, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet.

The bare steel hatch should be primed first with Blackfriar Red Oxide Metal Primer prior to application.

Coverage for this is 6-10m² per litre per coat.

We would recommend sanding back to bare wood the first coat may be thinned with white spirit 10% to act as a sealer coat.

Then apply 2 full coats unthinned.

Please note the anti slip aggregate will make it harder to clean the floor if using a cloth or sponge, a scrubbing brush would be required.

Asssuming the screed applied is overpaintable, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical data sheet this could be used once the screed is primed with Blackfriar Professional Floor Sealer.

Assuming the newly screed floor is fully cured, clean, dry and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet we can recommend Smartkote Safekote for this application due to it being easier to keep clean.

Assuming the concrete pathway is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data sheet this product is suitable for this application.

The antislip paint would only become slippy if water can pool on the surface.

Coverage should be 6-10m² per litre/per coat.

Preparation

Ensure the surface to be painted is sound, clean, dry and free from grease or any substance liable to give adhesion problems. Scrape off any old or flaking paint until you have a firm surface. Special attention should be given to areas under cars to ensure all oil, grease, dirt and road salt is removed. New concrete must be left for at least 6 months before applying Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint.

Application

Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller working the paint in any surface imperfections. On bare or new surfaces first apply Blackfriar Professional Solvent Based Floor Sealer followed by 1-2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Anti- Slip Floor Paint. On previously painted surfaces apply 1-2 coats as required. Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint is not suitable for use over PVC, thermoplastic tiles, quarry tiles, asphalt floors or granolithic concrete. Do not apply it on concrete surfaces treated with alkali containing liquids, areas subjected to rising damp or areas treated with PVA bonding solutions. If concrete floors are very smooth then pre-treat with Blackfriar Professional Acid Etch followed by Blackfriar Professional Solvent Based Floor Sealer prior to applying 1-2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint. Surfaces are slippery when wet. To ensure slip resistance the floor must be kept dry when in use. The use of protective mats will help preserve the surface under tyres.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint would not be usually recommended for this type of application, instead we would recommend Smartkote Protectakote UVR. Please refer to the details on this product in the data sheet and product description which explain what is required when applying over existing paints and/or bare galvanised metal.

The paint would likely fail to adhere which would result in flaking, peeling, etc.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint is suitable for use on wood. On bare wood the first coat may be thinned with white spirit 10% to act as a sealer coat. Then apply 2 full coats unthinned.

No, Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint would not be suitable for bare feet and cannot be used on linoleum. Smartkote Safekote is suitable for bare feet and other customers have used this successfully on similar floor surfaces, however it is not strictly recommended for use on linoleum by the manufacturer so you would have to carry out your own trials to ascertain suitability.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint would be a suitable product to use if you want an anti-slip finish to the area, for 15m² you would require between 3-5 litres to apply the 2 coats recommended.

We would not recommend Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint for either of these areas, it is not suitable for laminate flooring and although it is suitable for wooden surfaces the finish would be too aggressive for bare feet in a bathroom environment. We would instead recommend considering Smartkote Safekote, this has a fine texture provided by small silica particles which will not hurt bare feet. Although not recommended by the manufacturer we have had customers also have success with it on certain laminate flooring surfaces so we would suggest a trial on this area first to ensure it meets your requirements.

No, assuming they are glazed tiles we would instead recommend Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment followed by Smartkote Safekote.

No, something like Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment followed by Smartkote Safekote would be more suited.

No.

Clean Up for this products is as follows; Remove as much product from application equipment as possible before washing with Blackfriar Brush Cleaner or White Spirits. Do not empty into drains or watercourses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint is available in Light Grey or Mid Grey as well as White, Black, Tile Red and Green.

No, instead we would recommend Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment followed by Smartkote Safekote.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint will be fine for this. If you are sanding back to bare wood the first coat may be thinned with white spirit 10% to act as a sealer coat. Then apply 2 full coats unthinned. Note: The anti slip aggregate will make it harder to clean the step if using a cloth or sponge, a scrubbing brush would be required.

In general patterned concrete driveways are usually finished with a shiny/sealed surface which prevents good adhesion of subsequent paints. If this is not the case or you are able to prepare the surface to provide a suitable key for paints to adhere to then we would instead recommend considering Rust-Oleum Tarmacoat or Coo-Var Tennis Court & Drive Paint after adhesion tests.

Quarry tiles are difficult to get paint to adhere to, we would not recommend Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint for this surface.

Ideally you would always remove any existing coatings and apply something like 503 Easy Clean Anti Slip Coating or 502 HD Anti Slip Coating to a suitably prepared concrete floor. However there are instances where existing coatings can be over painted as long as they are well adhered, compatible and thoroughly cleaned and abraded to provide a key for the next product to be applied to. Always start with a small trial area when overcoating to check for compatibility, adhesion, etc.

Provided the steps are wood or concrete, (i.e. not tiled or anything else) then yes it will be suitable. Usual preparation should be carried our prior to painting, i.e. clean, dry, loose flaking paint removed, mould treated etc.

To create an anti-slip surface on metal we would instead recommend Smartkote Protectakote UVR. The metal surface should first be prepared and primed with the appropriate primer (as per manufacturers instructions), see Smarkote Protectakote UVR Product Data Sheet for more details.

We recommend Smartkote Safekote for timber decking.

We wouldn't advise the use of Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint on tiles but Smartkote Safekote can be applied to glazed tiles after the application of Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment, see product information and data sheets for full details.

Yes, on previously painted surfaces, after preparation apply 1-2 coats as required.

New concrete must be left for at least 6 months before applying Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint. On bare or new surfaces first apply Blackfriar Professional Solvent Based Floor Sealer followed by 1-2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint. On previously painted surfaces apply 1-2 coats as required. Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint is not suitable for use over granolithic concrete. Do not apply it on concrete surfaces treated with alkali containing liquids, areas subjected to rising damp or areas treated with PVA bonding solutions. If concrete floors are very smooth then pre-treat with Blackfriar Professional Acid Etch followed by Blackfriar Professional Solvent Based Floor Sealer prior to applying 1- 2 coats of Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint. Surfaces are slippery when wet. To ensure slip resistance the floor must be kept dry when in use.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint should be OK for this type of situation.

For best performance the surface preparation will need to be thorough, no grease or dirt present. Substrate must also be completely dry when paint is applied. (It may be better to wait for better weather before tackling the job).

Thin the first coat to act as a sealer, add approx. 10% white spirit for the sealer coat. Then apply 2 full coats. The paint coating will take up to a week to fully harden, you will need to take care during this time not to damage the coating. When it starts to show signs of wear another coat can be applied.

Yes it is. Please see the TDS (Technical Data Sheet) available to download from the 'DATASHEETS' tab on the product page for full information on preparation and application.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint will not be suitable for this application. A suitable system would be to prime the tiles with 3333 Super Adhesive Primer Handy Pack followed by Rust-O-Thane 9200 Handy Pack with Rust-Oleum Non-Skid Additive NS 200 incorporated to produce an anti-slip finish.

Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint may not last too long if any oil contamination is allowed to sit on the surface for any length of time. Oil spillages must be wiped up promptly to avoid the paint softening. A stronger paint would be the Blackfriar Professional High Traffic Floor Paint and to broadcast 504 Standard Anti Slip Aggregate into the first coat to give the anti slip properties. Then apply a second coat to seal in the aggregate.

To prepare the floor remove all failing coatings back to a clean sound surface. Remove any oil contamination using the Blackfriar Professional Degreaser & Cleaner. If there is still a sound paint coating present either product, (Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint or Blackfriar Professional High Traffic Floor Paint), should be OK to go straight over the previous coating. Note In some instances the High Traffic Floor Paint can react with recently applied single pack floor paints. If the old paint coating is not in great condition then a complete diamond disc grind to remove all paint would be best preparation. You would then need to prime the bare surface with the relevant primer depending on which top coat you are using (Blackfriar Professional Floor Sealer for Blackfriar Professional Anti-Slip Floor Paint and Blackfriar Professional Epoxy Floor Primer for Blackfriar Professional High Traffic Floor Paint. The paint system must be allowed to cure for 5 days minimum from the application of the last coat before subjecting the coating to any oil contamination.
